Quick grab Q&A
1. What is the problem you’re trying to solve?
Hiring (and looking for a job) in the restaurant, retail, and hospitality industries is painful and inefficient. Hirewire, the on-demand hiring app for the service industry, enables you to do it all from the palm of your hand, and fast.
2. How are you solving that problem?
According to Hypepotamus, “Hirewire is the resume, preliminary interview, references, and application criteria all in one sortable and efficient app. It is locking the revolving door of hiring staff, making it easier to be seen by employers, and saving everyone a ton of time in the process.” We basically built a really smart Tinder for employers and job-seekers.
3. Where did the inspiration for the idea come from?
We knew how big a problem hiring was, and we were confident that we had the right solution. We were inspired by Tinder’s user interface and saw an opportunity to apply the swipe to make job hunting and hiring easier.
4. Who is on your team and why?
CEO Chau Nguyen! In 2005, Chau co-founded Campus Special, which was recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of the fastest growing private companies in the US for four consecutive years. Campus Special reached millions of college students at over 500 universities through mobile apps, ecommerce, and print media. Nearly 4,000 college students launched their career in sales and marketing through his award winning internship program. In 2014, Campus Special was acquired by Chegg, Inc. and rebranded as Chegg Deals.
While searching for his next venture, Chau identified an opportunity to leverage his background in hiring to empower an underserved workforce and disrupt the traditional hiring process. In 2015, Hirewire, the first on-demand hiring marketplace connecting hourly job seekers and employers was launched (available for iOS and Android @ hirewire.com/app).
Chau has been named one of the Highest Rated CEOs of 2014 among small to mid sized companies by Glassdoor and voted to the annual list of Most Loved CEOs in America 2014 by Inc. Magazine. Chau has a passion for coaching, mentoring, and developing people.
5. What is one trait that makes your business unique?
Our algorithm that matches employers to applicants by job type, pay, location, shift, experience, and skill-set.
